Nowadays, optimization problems become increasingly large and complex, forcing the use of parallel computing for their efficient and effective resolution. On the other hand, multi and many-core computing (e.g. GPU, FPGA) has recently undergone a significant evolution with the emergence of new high performance computing environments. Indeed, multi and many-core computing are provided in laptops, high performance workstations, clusters, grids, and clouds.

The design and implementation of parallel optimization methods raise several issues related to the characteristics of these methods and those of the new hardware execution environments at the same time. This workshop seeks to provide an opportunity for the researchers to present their original contributions on the joint use of advanced (discrete or continuous, single or multi-objective, static or dynamic, deterministic or stochastic, hybrid) optimization methods and distributed and/or parallel multi/many-core computing, and any related issues.

The POMM Workshop topics include (but are not limited to) the following:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PAPER SUBMISSIONSYou
are invited to submit original and unpublished research works on above
and other topics related to Parallel Computing for Simulation and Optimization. Submitted papers must not have been
published
or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. For Regular papers, please
submit a PDF copy of your full
manuscript, not to exceed 8 double-column IEEE formatted pages, and
include up to 6 keywords and an abstract of no more than 400 words.
Additional pages will be charged additional fee. Submission should
include a cover page with authors' names, affiliation
addresses, fax numbers, phone numbers, and all authors email
addresses. Please, indicate clearly the corresponding author(s).
Short papers (up to 4 pages), poster papers and poster (please refer to
http://hpcs2014.cisedu.info/home/posters
for posters submission details) will also be accepted. Please
specify the type of submission you have. Please include page numbers on
all preliminary submissions to make it
easier for reviewers to provide helpful comments.

Only
PDF files will be accepted, uploaded to the link above.
Each paper will receive a minimum of three reviews. Papers will be
selected based on their originality, relevance, significance, technical
clarity and
presentation. Submission implies the willingness of at least one of the
authors to register and present the paper, if accepted. At least one
of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register and
attend the HPCS 2014 conference to present the paper at the
workshop.

ProceedingsAccepted papers will be published in
the Conference proceedings. Instructions for final manuscript format
and requirements will be posted on the HPCS 2014 Conference web site.
It is our intent to have the proceedings formally published in hard and
soft copies and be available at the time of the conference. The
proceedings is projected to be included in the IEEE Digital Library and
indexed in all major indexing services accordingly (e.g., EI indexing).

If you have any questions about paper submission or the workshop, please contact the workshop organizers.

For information or questions about Conference's paper submission,
tutorials, posters, workshops, special sessions, exhibits, demos, panels
and forums organization, doctoral colloquium, and any other information
